Prioritize inference speed and unit economics over raw model benchmarks
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack1d ago

Takeaways
- Flash models prioritize user retention through lower latency.
- Benchmark scores are vanity metrics compared to your cost-per-token.
- Determine if your feature needs deep reasoning or immediate response.
